background: breast cancer is considered as the most common as well as most effective malignancy in adult female population. it leads to deep psychological and emotional problems such as depression. although findings of numerous studies revealed a significant relation between spiritual well-being and depression in cancer patients, some reasons such as paradoxical findings in foreign researches a...

This study examines to what extent personality and existential constructs predict the frequency of reminiscence, in general, and its various functions, in particular. Eighty-nine older adults completed the NEO-Five Factor Inventory, the Life Attitude Profile--Revised, and the Reminiscence Functions Scale. Neuroticism predicted total reminiscence frequency, as well as reminiscence for self-under...

DESIGN Qualitative study using in-depth interviews and systematic text condensation analysis. PARTICIPANTS 17 devote Christians with an ethnic-Swedish background, 12 women and 5 men, 3...

the aim of this study was to empirically investigate the effect of death-awareness on state mindfulness and state integrative self-knowledge. for existentialists, confrontation with the fact of one’s personal death and tolerance of its inevitable anxiety is the most fundamental conflict of human beings. if such confrontation occurs, it leads to enhancement of one’s self-awareness. empirical tes...

In [2] an alternative skolemization method called eskolemization was introduced that is sound and complete for existence logic with respect to existential quantifiers. Existence logic is a conservative extension of intuitionistic logic by an existence predicate. Therefore eskolemization provides a skolemization method for intuitionistic logic as well. All proofs in [2] were semantical. In this ...

Several attempts have been made to compare Adler's Individual Psychology to existentialism or existential analysis (e. g., 22, 28). Dreikurs (9) isolates several tenets from Adlerian psychology and finds a model that includes all the characteristic assumptions of existential analysis which made their impact felt in America. Van Dusen (27) reports fundamental similarities in Individual Psycholog...

We consider the existential rule framework, which generalizes Horn description logics. We study and compare several boundedness notions in this framework. Our main result states that (strongly-) bounded rules are exactly those at the intersection of two well-known abstract classes of existential rules, namely fes (finite expansion sets, which ensure the finiteness of the core chase) and fus (fi...
